Artist Melissa McGill’s Red Regatta adds a beautiful splash of red to Venice’s Lagoon, and is a wonderful example of kinetic, practical art in motion.
All hand painted, the many red sails on the small boats bring a cohesion and a flurry of visual interest, and goes to show that art can take many forms, and some just look more fun than others.
